Does population aging harm economic growth? We exploit process-generated data from a large and typical service-sector company. We find no decline in average productivity in the age range of 20-60. This result is precisely measured. Our innovative identification strategy corrects for sample selection, endogeneity of age composition and age-cohort confounding. Our big data are essential to extract the signal from the noise that has marred many previous studies. While average productivity stays flat, we find variation according to task complexity. Productivity increases with age in teams with more demanding tasks and decreases in routine tasks.}, subject = {Arbeitsproduktivit{\"a}t}, language = {en} } @incollection{BoerschSupanDuezguenWeiss, author = {B{\"o}rsch-Supan, Axel and D{\"u}zg{\"u}n, Ismail and Weiss, Matthias}, title = {Altern und Produktivit{\"a}t}, series = {Produktivit{\"a}t in alternden Gesellschaften}, booktitle = {Produktivit{\"a}t in alternden Gesellschaften}, editor = {B{\"o}rsch-Supan, Axel and Erlinghagen, Marcel and Hank, Karsten and J{\"u}rges, Hendrik and Wagner, Gert G.}, publisher = {Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH}, address = {Stuttgart}, pages = {53 -- 62}, subject = {Alternde Bev{\"o}lkerung}, language = {de} } @incollection{IlmakunnasSkirbekkvanOursetal., author = {Ilmakunnas, Pekka and Skirbekk, Vegard and van Ours, Jan and Weiss, Matthias}, title = {Ageing and Productivty}, series = {Ageing, Health, and Productivity: The Economics of Increased Life Expectancy}, booktitle = {Ageing, Health, and Productivity: The Economics of Increased Life Expectancy}, editor = {Garibaldi, Pietro}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford}, pages = {135 -- 219}, subject = {Alter}, language = {en} }
